Games that Support Dual-Head Setups?

Posted by Cliff on from the two-heads-are-better-than-one dept.

Milo_Mindbender writes "It seems like almost all the new high-end 3d cards now support dual-monitor operation as a matter of course. I'm wondering if the game savvy people out there can recommend games (Linux or Windows) that have special features or modes for playing on a dual monitor system. I seem to remember seeing at least one C&C like game awhile back that let you have two views on the world (one on each monitor), there must be a few more that take advantage of this. Anyone know of any good ones?"

    Quake III, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Flight Sim 2k2, Global Ops, and Vendetta all have tripple monitor support (so im guessing two will work as well. And the following games will ship with tripple monitor support, Unreal Tournament 2003, F1 2002, Star Wars Galaxies, Mobile Forces, Realm Wars, Combat flight sim,and Gore

    i did it, just enable the "multi monitor support" option in winamp, works beautifully on my tri monitor setup. except that the visualization gets a bit sluggish at times, but oh well (underpowered vid card for tv out)

    Any of the New Geforce 4s (well the 4200- 4600) have dual output. These are pretty much the best card around, though rather expensive. Most come with one analogue output (normal kind) and one DVI for LCD's. With a cheap adaptor youcan use boht as analogue outs for two monitors

    Beep. Please replace the 'do' by a 'buy' in your last sentence.

    FS was developped by BAO (Bruce Artwick Organization) until being bought up by MS in 95 (around FSFW95, IIRC).
